    Kurisaki is a very good sushi restaurant in the South Bay. It tends to serve more traditional sushi (primarily nigiri and sashimi, with some very basic rolls and small cold and hot dishes). To me, it fills a spot between your higher end sushi places (like Sushi Inaba or Sushi Sonagi), your non-traditional omakase places (like Bar Sushi Hermosa), and your more Westernized places that offer lots of non-traditional rolls (like Flying Fin and Japonica). It's closest comparison is Sushi Chitose or even Sushi Nozomi (although both have larger menus). Food: The sushi is fresh and well prepared, albeit straightforward and typical. The size of the nigiri is smaller, but the fish to rice ratio is appropriate. Service: The service is friendly, but can sometimes be a little slow with a single server. Bottom Line: A solid sushi restaurant that serves good sushi. It doesn't have a large menu, and the food is relatively simple and straightforward. Again, it tends to be a more traditional sushi restaurant. Kurisaki does offer an omakase menu which was approximately $125 when I was last there. Some may think this expensive for what you get, but it is reasonable when you consider that many omakase menus now run in the high $200's and low $300's.

    Kurisaki has grown to be my favorite for sushi restaurant in Southern California. Chef Kurisaki takes great care in the preparation and we tried his Omakase and each piece was carefully prepared and presented. Although he has trained at Matsuhisa his style is not similar. He presented sushi that is classic Japanese as if you are in Japan. The food kept coming out and we were very full afterwards and the price point was proper as well. His wife will seat you and be your server. He prepares and she serves. The food is delicious and top rate. Thank you Chef Kurisaki for creating a place for a delicious meal.

    This is an incredible sushi place. The food is authentic, fresh, and a cut above other establishments. We tried Hokkaido Uni for the first time, and it's delicious! The service is friendly. The mood is clean and simple. Great for a date or small party when you want amazing food and don't want to feel rushed!

    Coke float. This hit the spot and I definitely recommend!

    The server, Carlitos, was attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend this place for their food, cleanliness and hospitality.

    Excellent service. Small simple restaurant. Menu options limited. Mostly mainstream sushi items. Everything is fairly pricey for sushi but my wife thought tht execution was good for most dishes except the shrimp tempura. The battery didn't have a airy crisp. All in all they are good but not so good that I will say they are a must go. Parking available behind the restaurant.

    Wow! Amazing 1. Staff My wife made reservations. As we walk in..."You won't be here more than an hour and a half?" Wtf? I beg your pardon!? Look, if I'm going to drop $200+ on dinner, I will decide how long I take. F you for stressing me out. So -1 star ( by the way, we left before the aforementioned time and the place was still empty) 2. Food Absolutely amazing! I lived in Yokohama and I've got to say that the sushi here is absolutely amazing! You pay a Premium but you get premium food! I can't say enough as how good it was! 3. Ambiance The sushi bar no longer allows folks at the bar. It's all table service The parking behind the restaurant is.... Weird. Not sure where I should have parked. The music is jazz. But did I mention the food? Dear heavens, mortgage your kids, go here ! The food is sublime. Amazing! We're it not for a snarky waitress it would be full stars and worth every penny! (And I speak Japanese, by the way, and still was put off by the staff!) This is my new go to sushi bar !

    One of my favorites in the South Bay. First time trying this sushi restaurant and had the omakase. High quality fish and presentation was very nice. The restaurant has a nice casual vibe and service was excellent.

    Our absolute favorite sushi restaurant in South Bay by far! It's not cheap... We only go on special occasions or on our date nights. We always get their sushi omakase. Every course is SUPERB and most if not all of their fish comes from Japan. Service is always excellent, each course is timed perfectly and the fish just melts in our mouth! There's parking in the back but space is limited. Street parking always works too~ The only negative is that we miss sitting at the bar... They got rid of the bar seating during Covid and never brought it back.. LAst time we visited, they said they weren't bringing it back..

    If you're looking for the best takeout sushi in the South Bay, Yanagi Kitchen is the spot. I've…read moretried a ton of places in the area, and nothing consistently hits the same level of freshness, quality, and value. The fish is always incredibly fresh, with clean flavors and generous cuts that don't feel skimpy like some other takeout spots. Their rolls are well-balanced (not overloaded with rice), and everything tastes like it was made with real care--even when you're just grabbing a quick order to go. What really sets Yanagi Kitchen apart is how reliable they are. Whether it's a simple sashimi combo or a full spread of rolls, the quality never dips. The presentation is great for takeout too, which is a nice bonus. Service is fast, staff is friendly, and orders are always accurate. It's become my go-to whenever I'm craving sushi without the dine-in fuss. Highly recommend--this place is a South Bay gem.

    Yanagi is take-out only, and honestly, I don't quite get the hype. If the prices were a bit lower,…read moreI might be able to justify it, but for what we paid, the sushi was mediocre. They have a self-order kiosk, and our food was ready in about 10 minutes. My husband and I shared an avocado salmon roll, scallop sushi, albacore sushi, and a tempura roll. Unfortunately, everything tasted really bland even with soy sauce, maybe they don't season their sushi rice? For us, this is a one-and-done spot.

    There's a reason why this is on all of the "best of" lists. And it has been for years. When I…read morefirst started coming here, it was $45 for the omakase, which was a phenomenal deal. I believe it's a bit more than that, but it's still really good!! So, I have a new rating system......I will write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

    (+) Omakase Sushi…read moreChitose is a little hole in the wall sushi spot that does sushi very well. Chitose means 1000 years old. The parking lot has to be at most 8 spots, so the earlier the dinner time, the better parking wise. It is reservation only and they do offer omakase. My wife and I got about 11-12 dishes and for $80, it is a great deal. We added a bottle of sake as well. If you've had omakase experiences before, you know all too well that there might be things you don't like. That doesn't happen here. All of the dishes served weren't excessively exotic, but things you've had before. The waitress asked us if there were things we didn't like, which I found kind. Food: I wanted to highlight the freshness of the fish such as the chutoro, and other nigiri pieces we got in our omakase experience. I've had plenty of omakase, and the fish here is cut perfectly without tendon or any impurities. Compared to all other sushi restaurants I've been to, Sushi chitose is near the top. Service/Ambiance. Service is quick and the sushi chefs are friendly. It is an inviting atmosphere and a gentle ambiance for great food. The restaurant is only opened for dinner, but you can check their website if things change. A great experience and I will be back if I'm in the area.
